Learn about pathoanatomy, clinical diagnosis, diagnostic imaging, hip arthroscopy basics, and evidence-based medicine for FAI. Discover prevention strategies and key take-away points in managing hip injuries in athletes.

Hip Injuries in Athletes Focus on Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Ian Rice MD Sports Medicine Orthopedic Surgeon TriHealth Orthopedic and Sports Institute
Overview of Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) and related hip conditions • Pathoanatomy • Clinical Diagnosis • Diagnostic Imaging • Hip Arthroscopy Basics • Evidence-Based Medicine for Hip Arthroscopy • Prevention • Take-Away Points
Impingement with hip flexion Shear forces on cartilage at chondrolabral junction Subtle findings on MRI: marcainearthrogram with traction, 1.5+ T MRI
CAM PINCER
Prevalence/Incidence Overall 10-fold increase risk of alpha angle >55 deg in athletes vs normal population! • 37% Asymptomatic CAM Deformity • 54% in athletes compared to 23% in normal population • 67% Asymptomatic Pincer Deformity • 94% NFL combine athletes with previous history groin/hip pain
Focus on this Rule Out Other Causes • Have patient sit up and palpate anterior groin/inguinal canal • Sig pain suggestive of sports hernia or peritoneal causes • Test resisted adduction • Adductor (groin) muscle strain or tear • Also palpate adductor origination at pubis • LE Neuro Exam, Straight leg raise • Radiculopathy, referred lumbar spondylosis pain FADDIR
CoxaSaltans External Internal Iliopsoas snaps on femoral head or iliopectineal eminence May be associated with FAI Also associated with Iliac Spine avulsion injuries and malunion • Snapping IT Band • Most common • Flexion Extension or rotation
Apophyseal Avulsions • Iliopsoas avulsions from ASIS (origin) or lesser trochanter (insertion) • Rectus Femoris avulsions from AIIS • Hamstring avulsions from ischial tuberosity • Adductor avulsions from pubic rami • “Post-traumatic” FAI = Subspine Impingement
Center Edge Angle (Normal 25-39, <15 = dysplasia) Alpha angle (Normal <50 deg) Crossover sign
Standard Views I recommend AP and Frog Leg views
Abductor Tears The Rotator Cuff of the Hip Coaches, Active Parents, Teachers, and other active adults (typically >50s)
The hip dictates knee landing mechanics and rotational forces • Weak hip external rotation increased odds of ACL injury 23% • Weak abduction increased odds of ACL injury 12%
72% reduction in hamstring injuries during season vs control • 579 athletes
Take-Home Points • Student athlete with anterior groin pain, clicking/catching like knee meniscus • Think Hip Labral Tear • Reduced hip ROM (especially decreased internal rotation) in young athlete • Think FAI • If your doctor orders an MRI, encourage marcainearthrogram study with traction • Best sensitivity for labral tear, and diagnostic for intraarticular pain origin • Refer to a hip arthroscopistif clinical concern for FAI/labral tear, verified intra-articular pathology, or failure to improve with several months of activity modification/therapy • In patients >50 yowith recalcitrant “trochanteric bursitis,” consider abductor tear and referral to hip arthroscopist
